Mamie at Her Best
What are your favorite Mamie movies? Which have you seen? Which ones you do want to see? I don't think the posting has paid enough attention to Mamie's talent or even her screen personality. I find her a lot of fun on the screen - she has a frisky playfulness on the screen that is unique. And she is quite versatile. You know she is a little like every one of the other 50's blondes. She can be whispery like Marilyn. She can be spirited like Jayne. She is leggy like Sheree. She can be a "bad girl" like Cleo. She is knowing like Diana. She can be brassy like Barbara. All of these blondes get lumped together but they are all quite different - yet I can see Mamie playing virtually any given role the others have done, maybe not always as well as they did but still giving a good performance and believable in the role.
